[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 67022, member: 5290"] Conclusion: When you begin to read, you may either set a number of pages to read or go on reading the Guru Granth for as long as you wish to. If I have opportunity, I like to read until I feel that I obtained something that I would like to dwell on within my heart for a period of time. There is no fixed ritual as to how much should one read. You may read only one paragraph, or you may read several pages before some particular thought attracts your attention. [B]When this occurs, you may close your eyes and take that thought into your contemplation. Think about it; hold it right in front of you; repeat it to yourself. Ask yourself: Why did this particular verse come to me? Does it have an inner meaning for me? What is its significance to me at this time and how will it touch my life in near future? [/B]As you continue contemplating and brooding on a verse, another thought may come to your attention. Consider both of these thoughts. Is there any relationship between them? Is there any coherence? Why did this quotation follow the first one? By this time probably a third idea and then a fourth will have come, and all these thoughts will have come out of your awareness, out of your consciousness. [B]In this short period of the reading in meditation that may have been of only a few minutes’ duration, you have experienced spirituality revealing itself, you have opened yourself to divine Intelligence and Love. This is the Word of God, which is quick and sharp and powerful.[/B] You now realize that, for a seeker, the Guru Granth reading is not just an ordinary reading but something much more; something that only ritualistic reading cannot accomplish. Bhai Gurdas describes this process of reading the Guru Granth as: [FONT=AnmolKalmi][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT=GurbaniLipi]ruKhMu Gr Cwvwie QMm QMmHwieAw ] isr krvq Drwie dyq GVwieAw ][/FONT] [FONT=GurbaniLipi]Lohy nwl jVwie pUr qrwieAw ] lK lhir drIAwie pwr lMGwieAw ][/FONT] [FONT=GurbaniLipi]gur isKW BY Bwie Sbd kmwieAw ] ieks ipCY lwie lK CfwieAw ][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=AnmolKalmi][/FONT][SIZE=2][RIGHT]Bhai Gurdas, Vaar 14, Pauri (9)[/RIGHT][/SIZE][RIGHT][SIZE=1]3[/SIZE][SIZE=2].[/SIZE][/RIGHT][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=3][I]"Trees serve as pillars and roofs for the houses.
